I recently watched the Mexican giallo 🇲🇽 Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary (1975) on Shudder. The story follows a woman traveling across Mexico, leaving death in her wake wherever she goes. Men and women alike disappear after encountering her, and a new lover who hopes for a future with her may be the only threat to her deadly lifestyle.
Directed by Juan López Moctezuma (Dr. Tarr's Torture Dungeon) and starring Cristina Ferrare (The Weather Man), John Carradine (Stagecoach), David Young (Hellraiser III), and Helena Rojo (Foxtrot).
Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary offers a unique and skillfully crafted blend of vampire and giallo genres. The circumstances, characters, and their motivations are well-established, contributing to a methodically delivered plot. While the kills are relatively average and gore is limited, the film compensates with several noteworthy twists and turns in the conclusion, providing a satisfying resolution.
In conclusion, Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary is a fun and distinctive addition to the giallo genre, deserving of attention from fans. I would rate it 6.5/10 and recommend seeing it at least once.
